Search For Excellence The pursuit of academic excellence is affected by the facilities available for both faculty and students. OBU, in its search for excellence, has maintained a program of con- tinual physical improvement and maintenance. Foremost in OBU's plans for the future is a library ex- pansion program which will increase the number of books and increase the library's size. Within five years the OBU library will contain 90,000 volumes and in 10 years, 130,000 volumes. Along with this expansion, continued improvement is planned in the basement of Raley Chapel, to provide voice studios, music classrooms, organ and piano studios, and administrative offices. The OBU book store will be relocated in the future, pro- viding more room in the Student Union to accompany a proposed expansion of the building. Also, the possibility of a consolidated dining area is being consideredg this would give additional room for expansion of Kerr and Brother- hood Dormitories. The complete renovation and redecoration of the WMU Memorial Dormitory was one of the many improvements made on campus. Others include the renova- tion of Dorland Theatre and continued refurnishing of Shaw- nee Hall, 0BU,s oldest building Students find time to socialize on the patio of the student union. They are Mr. and Mrs. James Hagan, Bob Thomas, Al Tucker, Earl Powell, and Dave Francis. After chapel each Tuesday and Thursday, students make a bcelinc for the dining halls for lunch.
